I've always been sporadic about where and how often I worship. I'm the beginning I went to mass in the church of his burial regularly.  It was comforting.  I also attended a more liberal denomination I prefer. The problem is I almost always cry in church. And I like to sleep in. I have a relationship with God. I dont know the answers but I prefer to believe, in balance with reason. I've always only attended when moved to do so. Prayer and meditation have been very helpful to me.  I'm glad I was brought up with a foundation to start and the ability to make my own choices.

I was the step in my marriage.  We discussed issues but 99.9% of the time he had final say.m

But he knew where I stood.  l

Onlyin one serious instance I laid d lown the law. But with my late husband. Not his kid.  I miss him. Solo parenting is hard, but most of the time I am glad I can paren'lt my way now. Sounds cold  but it is the truth.

I would at least discuss what his issues are.

That really is incredibly sweet

good to hear from you. sad to have to add someone but glad this site is here.

I want you to know I hear you and can empathize.

Just saw it two times. Back to back. Loved it.

I am so sorry you are going through this. The time leading up to the 1st year was absolutely awful for me. Financial stress was maddening. I hope they reach out. From what I've seen of in-laws in the last 8 years, I will say it is a strange but common phenomenon to lose the in-laws. I'll never understand it. I wish you all the best.

Michael, I wish I had words to comfort you. It should only be that easy.  But it is not.

8 years later I use Mrs.  I won't change my name because it is important to his kids.

Thinking of you

please dont apologize and by all means keep posting, I know it feels like back sliding, but it isnt. grief changes. you may feel as if you are at day one but you arent. 3 years is a weird time. I thought I was doing well but I was out of control.

It takes much longer to be at peace with your past and present, please dont judge yourself. be kind to yourself.

i got a 34 and they say it is complicated. i wonder what the hell my score would have been 7 years ago?

Such agony. I'm sorry Michael.

Thank you.

I agree with everything Trying said.

I am so very sorry for your terrible pain. Try not to judge yourself or how you're doing. Just be. Moment to moment.  Post whenever you want. ((Hugs))

Good to check in. Glad to hear from you.  (((Hugs)))

Keep posting when you can. Rest and drink that water. Love you. (Hugs)

I was impossible at 17. And I  had both parents alive and together. Hang in there!!!

You're in my heart.
